What to say...what to say? I know! Nothing.

 

[OldAlum]

Wow awfully quick . Hope she is sure. Surprised she didn't look around more as she has the time. Does she know anyone on the team ?

 

[triaddukefan]

1) That was awfully quick...... I wonder how many schools she chose to visit.... wonder if she learned her lesson from last time (committing without seeing all the interested schools)

2) If she never experienced culture shock in her life before..... she surely will now


3)

Best of luck to AEH. Would have liked to see her stay at UConn, but......

What to say...what to say? I know! Nothing.

I know one thing- she went from one “tough” coach to another “tough” coach.

Okay 1 thing:

"Mississippi State was the only school she had visited at the time of her commitment and subsequent signing with the Bulldogs. After Mississippi State’s win Monday night, and a postgame follow-up conversation with Schaefer and his staff, she decided there’d be no need to go anywhere else."

Connecticut transfer Espinoza-Hunter picks Mississippi State

Fool me once ....

 

[Charliebball]

a strange choice indeed for the kid from Ossining NY.........

 

[triaddukefan]

Imma keep my mouth shut on this one.

 

[UConnCat]

I'm at a loss for words or a word for this one.

 

[Charliebball]

Imma keep my mouth shut on this one.

why.............. you're a bit closer to Mississippi then we are

 

[SCGamecock]

I like it!

 

[JavaMan]

From a basketball only perspective, for her, this is the closest to a UConn wbb experience that is available. I say, smart choice. All the best to Andi. Was really looking forward to seeing her play at UConn, but, will watch a little more State now just to see her play. Hope she not only handles the regional differences, but learns and grows because of them.

I like it!

you may not like it so much if she starts raining three pointers on your team..................

I was thinking maybe ND but regardless...............why would she want to transfer to another program with a fiery head coach who doesn't put up with any nonsense when she just left one?

 

[HGN]

Ok, now that we all know where she's going let's all move on.

wait...................you want all of us to move to Starkville Mississippi?

I wonder if you would ever see a UCONN vs. Mississippi State regular season match up for the 2019-2020 season, which would pit AEH against her former freshman teammates at UCONN? Do you think Geno and Schaefer would ever agree to a series of game?

I doubt it.................. I don't think Geno likes 99% humidity............

And ?

 

[Charliebball]

And ?

you might have a better sense as to whether a NY kid would enjoy the quiet Mississippi lifestyle................

 

[Sifaka]

Things I think I know:
1. Geno only recruits kids who are intelligent, of good character, and who have
better than average basketball talents. This may include kids who are stubborn in good ways, such as Kia. It may include kids who are stubborn in aggravating ways, such as Светлана Олеговна Абросимова, or Svet. It may include others
with additional varieties of stubbornness.
2. It appears that Geno and Andra had some differences of opinion.


Things I don't know and thus will not opine about:
1. Precisely how and why AEH exited UConn.
2. Why and how AEH chose Miss. State U.
3. How things will work for AEH and her new team.

Heck... I dont even understand what goes on in 40 year old female's head and their decision making..... so Im the wrong person to ask about what a 19-20 year old female could be thinking

 

[SCGamecock]

It wouldn't be much different than what I've watched most of this year...

But in all seriousness, I like it when good (possibly elite) talent goes to places that don't usually get it. South Carolina is one of those places. So is Mississippi State.
